Well, let's ask some questions. Could two different OS login users each have their own shared memory and semaphores? (assume some flavor of Unix, maybe under Windows too?) Check.
Could two different OS users each have an ORACLE_HOME (base directory) at different places in the server filesystem, independent of each other? Check.
Could one physical server have several TCP/IP addresses? Check.
Could two listeners run on the same machine, each using port 1521 but a different TCP/IP address? Check.
I don't have the means readily at hand to test this right now (oh, where have you heard that before? ;-) ), but I think it can be done.
